KANSAS - DUST IN THE WIND (ADHD Reaction) | ANOTHER CURE FOR ADHD! 

"Carry On Wayward Son" will blow you away! You'll NEVER know or think it's the same band 🤣

You'll have a blast with the Kansas rabbit hole. Fun background story. Dust in the wind was nothing more than a fingering exercise that guitarist Kerry Livgren would play to warm up when sitting around the house. His wife told him that it was pretty and he should write lyrics. After presenting it to the band they arranged and recorded this for the Point of No Return album. Now you know.

This came out as I was a teen and my mother was dying. I would sit for hours listening to music as an escape while taking care of her. The journeys you can go on in your mind is wonderful.

No drums, no bass, no keyboards, only acoustic guitars and a violin. Pure music.

Kansas is prog pop royalty. Everyone will tell you to do “Carry On Wayward Son,” but I recommend “Song For America,” “Closet Chronicles,” “Nobody’s Home,” “Point of Know Return,” “Inside of Me,” and “Backdoor.” I grew up with these guys, Styx, ELO, Yes, Pink Floyd and Moody Blues. I always say that’s why I never needed drugs. Just sit in a dark room by candlelight and let ‘em rip! Keep ‘em comming! If you want an orchestra, try the live version of “Nights In White Satin” by The Moody Blues or “Silence And I” by Alan Parsons Project. Well. I just went back and listened to all of my suggestions. Mmmm!

This song stands correct. We all are just Dust in the Wind. This song reminds me to live life to the fullest that I can. Because any day, it will be gone. Spread love and be kind. ❤

Lyrics 10, vocals 10, musician ship 10, arrangement 10, performance 10...= gold.

Growing up in Wichita, my buddy and I would sing this song in the 2nd grade while coloring. We never knew the group was called Kansas until much later. This song is attached to so many great innocent moments in my young childhood. It is such a beautiful song.

My dad was not a fan of rock music (born 1928), but this song brought him into my bedroom in tears. This song he loved. We cried together. Never forget that day. Crying now. 🙏

This is what I would call a perfect song. It transports oneself back to the first time you heard it...

Great, great choice, Mark! Kansas lyrics are often times reflective and inspiring. Try “Carry On Wayward Son”, or “Fight Fire With Fire” to hear their full band in action.

That's the 70's for you! AMAZING

This song is just simply gorgeous. I bought the record when it came out (yeah, I’m that old), and I have never gotten tired of listening to it. It still gives me chills. Mark, seeing you react to these classics is awesome. This music is timeless, and you feel the same way I did 46 years ago when I set the needle on the record and put on my headphones. Thanks for your honest and natural reactions!

Again.. What have you done man.... You are unleashing Kansas on the masses. You have blown some minds today.. Oh yes you have...Year 1978 My friends and I were blown away by this band... A book of matches holding up the 8 track tape in the player... Crank it to 1000 and vibe...There was drinking and drugs involved... Life was great!!!!❣

You've got to do their mega hit Carry On Wayward Son to really understand what this band was about. But I'm so happy you got to this and I'm really happy that you played it twice, because it deserves that. I may be a bit biased because I am from Kansas and those boys were maybe six or seven years older than me but this came out when I was in junior high and high school and ride along with all the other bands of the time, like Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath and all of that, they just oh let's not forget rush, and pink floyd, but anyway, they grew up 30 minutes from me, and in fact when I was a freshman in college my roommate was a senior and he was a music Major and he was from Topeka Kansas the capital of this state and where those guys were from. And he had some of their hand-me-down band Equipment Incorporated into his Stellar Stereo system. He could win any stereo War it was so loud and so high fidelity

love this band . Their voices...amazing to hear live, which I did !!!

His voice just sends me into a dream state.... along with the other members of course ❣️❣️❣️

There just isn't any better ballad. Haunting and introspective

Fun fact: this song started out as just a fingerpicking exercise by the guitarist. The band then turned it into a full song. You may have heard of Kansas if you ever watched Supernatural. Their song Carry On My Wayward Son was featured a LOT on the show.

Great reaction mate. It's a beautiful song... As someone said, Carry On My Wayward Son will probably work for you too.

This is a masterpiece and the violin solo is exquisite

Love this! They also sing Carry on Wayward Son, you've probably heard that.

As others have said, please do Carry On My Wayward Son. Will surely blow you away. Thank you for this!!

I am immediately distrustful of anyone who hates this song.

I have been a Kansas fan since I was in my 20's, I'm over 70 now and still love them. This was a great reaction to on of their best known songs. A lesser known song ( and just as mellow and imho even more beautiful) is "Lonely Wind". I think it is off the same album. I think you might enjoy it. It's one of my favorites from them. Keep being you Mark, everyone else will adjust.

I grew up listening to this type of music and when I had kids we didn't listen to radio Disney, we listen to this and other classic rock. My Daughter's favorite song is Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult and My son's favorite is Frankenstein by Edgar Winter.

Love this one. Haven’t heard it in a long time! It’s still so good

The guitar player used this melody as a warm up exercise. I believe the story goes his wife heard him playing this warm up exercise one day and in passing said, “that’s nice. You should write lyrics to it.” He did, and by the end of 1978 it was in the radio so much that I couldn’t take listening to it anymore. It took many, many years of actively avoiding it before I could enjoy hearing it again.

Kansas was one of the few American bands that could stand right there with the great British progressive rock bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, ELP, and others, and still they had, imho, a uniquely American feel to their sound. Love that you listened to this! Probably their two other bit hits were "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Point of Know Return," but their longer songs, like "Song for America" and others, are worth checking out too. Love your honest reactions, brother!

Love this song!!!❤❤😂Hi Mark!!!Love your reactions!

The song that taught us to play air-violin. Such a beautiful song with a deep meaning that is timeless. Their harmonies have been underrated, and not just for this song. Have you done Jethro Tull, particularly "Locomotive Breath", "Thick as a Brick", "Aqualung", "Bungle in the Jungle". Great reaction, Hector.

DUST IN THE WIND I close my eyes, Only for a moment and the moment's gone. All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiousity. Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind. Same old song. Just a drop of water in an endless sea. All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see. Dust in the wind. All they are is dust in the wind. Oh... Dont hang on. Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. It slips away, All the money wont another minute buy. Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind. Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind

Another great reaction! More Kansas please!

❤and all your money won't another minute buy!!!Now you need to do Carry on Wayward son by Kansas!! You'll love it ❤

I wasn’t sure what to think of your channel at first but I have really enjoyed your honest reactions and the joy you exhibit.

🎶🎶 Pink Floyd: Money, So they say, Is the root of all evil today... Kansas: And all your money won't another minute buy 🎵🎵 Concepts worth pondering. Love your channel, love this song, love you, my friend. 🖖🏽

This song is so gorgeous. I've loved it since I was 15 years old, and im so happy you know it now. I was just watching people react to "Jane" by Jefferson Starship. Some of them said, "Holy shit...wow." Fire. They can't believe how good it is.😂 Have you heard "Take a Pebble" by ELP. It's a brilliant song.❤

Ohhh…. I knew this was gonna be a good one. 😂 I Love this song. Great reaction. ❤

Every once in a while, I see a thumbnail and go "Oh, this is gonna be so good!" This is one of those times. Sending love and positivity in the new year.

You'll LOVE Kansas CARRY ON WAYWARD SON. Same band, completely different.

Think back to prog's 1970s heyday and you'll probably recall that British bands like Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and Genesis pretty much dominated the landscape, leaving little room for American bands. Nevertheless, a few managed to emerge, like the Topeka-based Kansas, whose blend of complex, symphonic arrangements (one of them even played the violin!), muscular hard rock and other musical forms was particularly inventive. 1977’s blockbuster ‘Point of Know Return’ LP solidified their popularity, selling 4 million copies in the U.S. alone. It generated hits with the title track and the iconic ballad “Dust in the Wind,” as well as popular favorites ‘Portrait (He Knew),’ “Sparks of the Tempest” and “Closet Chronicles.” From intimidating prog rockers to accessible hitmakers, Kansas could certainly crank it out with the best of them but even then it was always with an ambitious musicality that reached well beyond the riffs. - Excerpts from Ultimate Classic Rock 2023

wonderful place to start with Kansas...wonderful song...thanks for this one!!! "Point of No Return" "Carry On Wayward Son"

One of my favourite songs ever. Thanks for another great reaction Mark!

That was great. Always liked this melody. Thanks for your reaction...

I was a senior in college in 1976, saw them in a 5000 seat music hall, you should check out 'Song for America' (that was their opener)

Kansas!!! Another goody!!!! I'm here for it Hector!!!!🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜One of my very favorite songs from the past...🙂🙂🙂

Gotta listen to "Carry On, Wayward Son"!

Kansas is a great band to watch.

Beautiful❤❤❤ Carry on Wayward Son will blow your mind❤❤❤

Brings me back. One of my favs!❤

Mozart, Beethoven, Straus etc... you cannot go wrong. Why the music is called classical is for a reason ) Kansas has always had that sound they created and it does not get old to hear them again. Plain good talent!

Yes! I knew you’d love this song! It’s been a fave of mine for decades and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you vibe to it ❤

One of my favorites ❤

*one of the things i love so much about bands from the 70's will always be the story-telling* we hear it time and again with kansas - led zeppelin - pink floyd - boston and so many more. cheers !

My favorite Kansas songs would be Carry on Wayward Son, Play the Game Tonight, Point of No Return and Fight Fire with Fire. 😂

You will LOVE "Carry on Wayward Son". It's kind of a sister song to this in my mind because it's on the same album, and it's just as good but totally different. Definitely a must listen. You'll probably put it on your workout playlist.😊❤ The violin is so good😮

We had so many genres and subgenres of amazing music in the 70's.

Always one of my favorite songs.

This is such a beautiful and classic tune! Every guitar player I have known including myself has made trying to master this a goal. Thank you for letting us experience this one with you ❤

I have always thought this song is so beautiful ❤

Saw them live. Peace ✌️

Great reaction. Steve Walsh and Steve Perry are two of my favorite male rock vocalists. Their album Leftoverture is legend to us 70's dudes.

A hair-raising song!! Great reaction! northeast FL loves you

Great song! Another great band. 👍🏼🥁🎸🎹🙌🏼

They have so many great songs - I've been listening to them a long time. "He knew" is a banger among many

Leftoverture(album) is a masterpiece. Enjoy.

I love this song. I want it played at my funeral.

How about ELO Fire on High it is just music, but it is something else. This was Kanas' warm up song back stage before they come out. went on to be one of there biggest hits.

❤ that I'm not the only head banger left. Carry on😊

Van Morrison " Moondance" its beautiful and unique

Squeezing brains for joy and happiness!🫸🧠🫷😁👍

Kansas is primarily a progressive rock band with several radio-friendly songs. I would check out "Carry On Wayward Son", "Icarus - Born On Wings of Steel" or "Miracles Out of Nowhere". Dust In the Wind is their most mellow song in their catalog.

Love this! They also sing Carry on Wayward Sun, you've probably heard that.

Such a powerful song! (I actually did a hiphop song using this sample) again, another dope reaction 👌.

Magnum Opus is awesome. Off their Leftoverature album. No really I’m not kidding!!

So many memories, fire as always, nothing but love here my friend, absolutely loved it, you are awesome !!

This and Pink Floyd "Childhood's End" will be played at my funeral.

I’ve just clicked on this; it is just the second video of yours I will have watched, the first being the Teddy Swims verse challenge video. As a fellow ADHDer, your reaction totally clicked with me. Hence my clicking on this video. This is my favorite song of all time, and that’s saying something because….I’m getting old 😊. I would listen to this song over and over on repeat, it’s a very stimmy song for me. And when I’d listen to it on my darkest days it let me recenter and relax because we’re all just dust in the wind. ❤ 0:04

the hwhispering hwind on hwhich the Stairway to Heaven rests

The movie Bill and Ted Excellent Adventure should be on your watch list. There’s a great reference to this song in it

I haven’t heard this song in ages and had forgotten how beautiful it is. Thanks for bringing it back to me! Now, suggestion. Try listening to some Allman Brothers. I would suggest Whipping Post. Voted one of the top 500 songs to shape rock and roll as well as one of the top 500 of all time by Rolling Stone.

"Carry On Wayward Son" - Kansas 🤌🤌🤌

Gran reacción...Gran canción...Grandes recuerdos ❤

Saw Kansas in concert years ago. Well decades ago if you want to get technical.

All your money won't another minute buy. Enjoy your stay on Earth while you can.

Hi Mark if you like Led Zepplins "ROCK AND ROLL" youll love Jeff Becks "GOING DOWN" hhmm? Maybe?🤷‍♀️ Kansas' music is just so beautiful THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL, I thought people were too far off the balance board, but you are genuine!! Great selections💃💃☘️

I had to go for three today... Kansas seemed a good mix with Ren. You make songs from my youth great again. I'd love to see you do 'White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane. Thanks Mark - you made a crap Wednesday fun.

One of the first albums I purchased as a teen was Kansas; Leftoverture. Still epic.

Kansas is a great band! I've always wanted to see them in concert. I do believe that they still tour. I don't know who are the original members though. Next one from them to do is "Carry On Wayward Son". That's a rocking great song! Much love, Hector ✌🏻❣️

A Beautiful message that nothing is forever. A moment soon passes. It's a freeing thought when you realise that we are all dust in the wind. Pachebels Canon...I'm sure I've misspelled his name....but a beautiful piece of haunting music I think would massively appeal to you. Hugs

Such a great song

If you like the guitar and the vocal style of “Dust in the Wind,” I feel like you have to try John Denver. “Rocky Mountain High” and “Country Roads” are epic folk/pop Americana.

I'd add The Wall to the list of their songs to do. It prdates Pink Floyds by just a bit but kind of the same theme but different

Carry on wayward son! It's a must my guy 😉

Definitely give classical a try. Vivaldi, Mozart, there's a ton of stuff from slow / mellow to hype. Would love to see you try it out. 🙂

For some reason, this song reminds me of Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles

Beautiful ♥

I would be here for you to listen to Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart!!!i I have loads of awesome Classical Music, that I could suggest…(I grew up, playing the violin, so I have a lot of love for classical music… Along with so many other genres) I love this song …I get goosebumps every time and I have been listening to this since I was a little kid in the 70’s

Have you listen to the Edgar Winter Group and their popular song "Frankenstein" ?

I steered you wrong on those two Kansas reaction titles. They're both from Kansas' first album, in no particular order, and at any time you're ready for a banger!: 1. Journey from Mariabronn 2. Death of a Mother Nature Suite
